The Equipment Module is the repository for information on new and existing equipment. Other TabWare modules use this information to create work orders, perform scheduling activities, and track equipment resources.

* Tracks equipment by location and serial number.

* Provides a component hierarchy for assemblies, subassemblies and parts.

* Ability to view applicable vendor drawings or information.

The Work Order Module provides complete work process management from quick and easy initiation of work orders through planning, scheduling, execution, and completion.

* Comprehensive graphical analyses display performance trends.

* Quick analysis of maintenance and cost information.


The Preventive Maintenance Module generates PM work orders that can be scheduled based on time and/or units. PM Master Plans describe the resources and materials required and have links to assets and equipment via a schedule record.

* TabWare provides a planning/scheduling capability.

* Includes development of equipment-oriented procedures for repetitive use with rebuilds, inspections, calibrations, and other repetitive-type work.


The Inventory Module provides tracking of spare parts inventory, including multiple plant and multiple storeroom environments.

* Maintains cost and transaction history.

* Generate reports on inventory valuation, balances, and usage levels.

* Determines the optimum stocking levels for your operation.


The Event Tracking Module tracks any type of event that occurs within a plant, including accidents, emissions, inspections, corrective actions, audits, work orders, and other types of events.

* Complete documentation of events, including information for regulatory.

* Reports, internal reports, documents, and drawings.

* Captures component, condition, and action codes for analysis.

* Allows users to create follow-up work orders for corrective action.

The Scheduling Module allows development of a schedule by selecting work orders from the backlog and moving them onto a schedule.

* Schedules can be based on work assigned to a particular supervisor, crew or individual, work scheduled for a given geographical area, or other criteria of your choice. Allows users to set resource levels and develop "what-if" scenarios.

* Hierarchy of schedules can be created and work can be easily dragged and dropped from one schedule to another. Graphical resource leveling allows users to see planned and available resources at a glance.


The Resource Module provides basic information concerning employees and contractors including individual skills, pay scales, craft certifications, and job classifications available to support a multi-skill work environment.

* Reviewer and approver permissions with approval limits are also maintained in this module.


The Requisition Module is used to enter requests for goods and services with work flow for approvals.

* Create Requisitions directly from a work order with links that allow the user to plan the resources needed while simultaneously creating a requisition.

* Requisitions are routed through a work flow for review and approval. Allows for deciding source of supply and making deliveries at the time and place requested.

The Purchasing Module employs a unique one-stop shopping approach that combines work order planning for materials, tools, services, and purchasing requisitions.

* Tracks all requisitions from initial entry and approval through purchase order (PO) issue, receipts, and invoicing.

* Change orders and blanket orders are supported and an expediting mechanism tracks orders from issue to receipt.

* Electronically transmit Purchase Orders to suppliers. Buyers Backlog allows each buyer to expedite requests through the system for enhanced efficiency.

The Multiple Warehousing Module provides for multiple locations (warehouses) within a single plant with quantities at the bin level with the ability to transfer material between warehouses.

* Items within a given warehouse can be assigned to multiple bins with quantities kept the bin level.

The Invoice Matching Module provides both 2-way and 3-way invoice matching including the capability to handle invoiced costs not associated with a PO.

* Three types of vouchers are processed in the system:

1. An invoice associated with a PO
2. A direct-charge invoice
3. A credit memo

* Cost transactions can be extracted and interfaced with external systems.


The Setup Module enables you to configure program options for each of the TabWare modules.

* Establish user settings, including window color schemes, passwords, and language selection for each user.

* Define custom elements, equipment classes, failure analysis codes, specify valid values used with validated data elements, and define cost periods.


The Security Module provides complete access security down to the data element and screen level.

* User groups are defined with access permissions for visibility, usage, display, and/or update for each window and element.

* Users must be identified within the Security Module and then be assigned to one or more user groups for access permissions.
